PROJECTS
VBL++
Upgraded with the C++ programming language, VBL provides high-fidelity models and high-resolution calculations of laser performance predictions.
MAPP
The MAPP incorporates multiple software packages into one integrated code so that multiphysics simulation codes can perform at scale on present and future supercomputers.
Vidya
This project advances research in physics-informed ML, invests in validated and explainable ML, creates an advanced data environment, builds ML expertise across the complex, and more.
PEOPLE
